The history of our neighborhood has its beginnings at the very earliest date of Portland's development, growing rapidly from the late 1800s and into the early 1900s. The area was originally considered part of "north Mount Tabor", and was predominantly farmland. The second phase of development soon followed, with the construction of the Mount Tabor Villa streetcar line, which served our area and what was later renamed as the Montavilla area. This streetcar line, which ran along Glisan from about NE 28th to east of NE 82nd, was originally constructed in 1892, and quickly triggered a lot of in-fill development, particularly in the areas closest to the streetcar line. In the early 1970's local residents formed one of Portland's first Neighborhood Associations here; the young Association chose to name itself C.E.N.T.E.R., an acronym for "Citizens Engaged Now Toward Ecological Review". The neighborhood's concern continues to be maintaining its historical association with the predominant community design, comprised of single-family bungalow and cottage homes. In October 2008 neighbors voted to change the name to North Tabor. North Tabor Neighborhood today is made up of a diverse group of world citizens, and its combination of unpretentious working-class backbone, plus "creative class" influence, continues to evolve as many up-and-coming infill developments are adding to the character and historic aspects of our neighborhood.
